I have just bought 1 and I am over the moon, what a fantastic car, and the engine sounds superb. Does anybody out there know how the cd works, the 6 track cd is working in the glove compartment, but I've got no sound at all, the radio works, but I keep on getting CD - SAFE on the screen, help me somebody please.

Seriously quick? I don't want to start an endless argument, but come on it's nippy at best. Not fast, not slow, just bland. Another mild saloon. I should know I own one. Calling it seriously quick just leads everyone astray.

Come on mate lets not mess about here, you haven't shocked a BMW because it's quick. They were shocked as we all would be to see a Vectra on the road and not broken down in the layby. I got rid of my Vectra within the same month I bought it!!!

1998 Vauxhall Vectra GLS 2.0 16v Ecotec from UK and Ireland

Summary:

Cheap to run, quick and comfortable!

Faults:

Replaced Cat and complete Exhaust System at 186000 miles. Whilst it was in for that, the mechanic said the cambelt was well overdue and trying to work itself off its rollers so that was done at the same time!

General Comments:

Fantastically comfortable - journeys of 500 miles shrugged off with ease.

Engine hardly used any oil even with 191000 miles on the clock, and still pulled exceptionally well.

Everything worked, even the air con was ice cold.

Best bit of all, I bought it for £680 in October last year, and sold it today for £680 with 1 months tax and MOT - lucky so and so!
